Well i can't say which was better so ill share 2 rides because we were really desperate in both situations:
1. It was June 2009, we were on the boarder Romania/Bulgaria aphter beying hasseled by the boarder police, for quite a while i managed to get thrue the boarder by foot, my girlfriend got with a trucker, but to get to mainland Bulgaria we needed to take a ferry and i needed to find another truck, because there were no options to cross on foot. So i found a russian speaking bulgarian truck driver who took us both (me and my girlfriend, 2 persons = illegal) for free with a ferry, gave us his home made vodka, cigs, bought us beer and food, let us sleep in his truck thrue the night (he drove home with a car from a truck stop) in the morning he bought us some more food and coffe, drove us to Sofia(Capital city) and arranged a meeting in bulgarian with our host via couchsurfing and gave us $$ for public transport.

2. It was a grind/crust festival in Chezc Republic in a middle of nowhere, the rain was pooring heavily, no traffic, nothing... so we got a ride from 2 ~40ish year old punkrockers, one of them was Slovakian other Polish, they drove us to Berlin to Kopi squat, gave us a room, free food, free beer, free entrance to a gig and next day shown us how to hitch out of berlin in direction of Netherlands...

yeah it's pretty normal for me (and anybody) hitching-hiking on the 101 to get kicked down: money, weed, beer, and hotel rooms... last fourth of july my friend and i got stuck in arcata... the guy who gave us a ride from crescent city said it was getting late and asked if we had a place to stay. kicked us down a hotel for the night... we went to safeway and celebrated our freedom by liberating a handle of whiskey.

also hitching from mephis to nola (which was a pain in the ass) we where in some shit whole town cops pull us over hands up 5 bucks a bag of chips, and like 7 redbulls. that was the first time a cop has actually been polite to me while on my travels... most just dick me around, or through me in jail.
